The Latest Feminine Fancy.

The very latest for young ladies' fancy
work is to make yachting pillows for the
gentlemen of their acquaintance who hap
pen to own yachts. Every one who has
ever "sailed DER the blue water" knows
how necessary to comfort are sofa pillows
in the cabin; every one wishes to doze '6r
loll about, and pillows are in demand;
there can't be too many of them The
pillow exclusively for yachts is covered
with navy blue sateen that is laced on to
the pillow on either side by white cord
and tassel. This gives it nautical ap-
pearance at once. Have a design of the
yacht stamped on one side of the blue
covering, and work in outline stitch with
white silk. On the reverse side have. the
name Of the yacht stamped in large letters
in old English text, and also work with
white silk in outline stitch. They are very
pretty, easily done, and most appropriate
present. If one desires to give still more,
an ensign flag to match is attractive, with
the initials Of the owner worked upon the
blue field as well as the name of the yacht.

The Art Of Conversing.

The reason why many who converse are
dull, Is our fault, not theirs; onr bearing,
because we have not learned the art of
patiently listening, restraints and embar-
rasses them. Were we more respectful
and benevolent, the tongue of the one
speaking would disentangle itself, and
give us many treasures Of head and heart.
Hence, in conyersing, we should never
seem to feel toward the one speaking that
we are perfectly acquainted with every
thing he is saying or can say; that kills
his glow, and I'VE shall shortly have for a
companion o stick or stone.
Hence, also, when our interiors are
speaking, we should never put words into
their liRs Start the mass Of men; then,
while the glow and dow are upon them,
preserve dead silence; You will shortly
havs penred into your ears all the best
things they know. When you have given
even an uneducated, If intelligent, man
the impression that you have become his
interested Estsner, he will give you valu-
able thoughts not found in your books and
schools. With tho utmost magnanimity
we must tolerate occasional dullness and
learn to listen for profit, If not from prin-
eiple. The self denial involved, or the dis
coveries made, will, at length, convert
the hours talk into an hour charged at
least with discipline, and perhaps with the
most serviceabis Information. "When
man ceases not the exchange of civilities,"
says the Chinese proverb, there is moth
ing he may not possess. Wise, too, is
the Turkish proverb: MANY are ignorant
through want OF knowledge how to lis
ten" When in doubt, therefore, one will
do well to inquire the way Of everybody
he meets; for at least every other man,
though in humble life, has a clew, or a
cross cut, or some item of information of
whish we are Observation-Disclosures Towns

To add column of figures rapidly and
accurately, to make no mistakes in simple
sums of addition, subtraction, multiplied
ton and division, the kind of arithmetical
knowledge needed in everyday life, is, ms
President Walker has shown in his recent
admirable talk to the school committee of
Boston, Of far more value to the vast ma
jority of school children than can possibly
be knowledge of the intricacies of frac-
tions, or facility in the gymnastics Of the
puzzle problems of the text books, with
out such ready accuracy in everyday
sums This statement by President
Walker well illustrates the rational de-
mand for a more practical education in
the public schools, though there is a de-
mand for so called practical" education
which is decidedly irrational. -Col l. Ed

THE COW AND HER CALF.

Teaching q Young Bovine to Drink-Boy.
ish Cruelty TO Animals.
Learning calf to drink was one OF
my boyish crosses. The natural position
of calf in nursing is one with the head
elevated, and the nose turned up. OF
course there Is opposition when these DO
sitions are exactly reversed, and the calf
has to swallow up instead of down. Every
country boy knows all about the process;
how he sticks his horny hand and nail
tipped fingers into the tender mouth, hith-
erto accustomed only to the soft teat of
the mother; how the frightened animal
struggles; how he jams its head down
into the milk; how the calf ,"bunts" and
drives the milk in showers into the face
of the boy, and how in time the little
juvenile passes from sucker to drinker,
and then is ready for the advent of the
buyer.
Removed by long time from these oc-
currences, find there is something truly
pathetic in the life of the average calf and
its mother. She is deprived of 1t at the
earliest possible moment in order that her
milk may be used for the dairy, and pend
ing the arrival of purchaser it is fed ON
q Skinned milk less expensive than the
try has seen cow in company with her
calf has noticed every evidence Of warm
affection. When opportunity offers she
laps its skin with her tongue, and caresses
it with her nose, and places herself in
vitingly in position to enable it to reach
the fountain Of nourishment.
When the calf is taken away, her dis
tress is as evident as that Of woman
who has lost her child. Her melancholy
cry rolls across the country and is echoed
from the hills. There are in 1t qualities
Of grief that are as palpable as II en-
bodied in the human voice. AL the day,
and during the solemn stiffness Of the
night, at intervals of few minutes, the
dolorous call Of the mother for her miss
ing child breaks on the ear.
To the boy there is nothing pathetic in
the occurrence. 1t is something which is
to him matter of course. He is yet q
savage. He watches the Sticking of
hogs in the annual butchering with lively
interest, and longs for the time when he
can perform the same feat. He sees with
indifference the enraged farmer plant his
heavy cowhide boot in the ribs Of
fractions cow, and with equal equanimity
sees the same person maui the head Of an
unbroken colt, or sensitive, timid horse,
with heavy sled stake. At this remote
period my conscience pricks me for the
stoning of animals, the kicking of patient
horses, and other things of the kind;
which, when done, were done with entire
as to their brutality

Table Etiquette In Zanzibar.

Talking of eating reminds me of the
way the operation is performed by the
Arabs. Five of them seat themselves
round large bowl of rice, surmounted
by skinny fowl, all being curried. Two
seize the wings with their fingers and two
the legs, and simultaneously tearing these
off leave the carcass to the fifth, after
ward taking out the rice by handfuls and
conveying it to the mouth
with peculiar jerk. One mark of hospi-
tality shown to guests when at table con-
sists in the chiefs rolling up some rice
into ball in the palm of his hand and
aiming it at his guests widely distended
jaws. On one occasion this piece of civil
ity was shown to myself, but not being
an adept in the art of swallowing rice
balls when so projected the effect was
anything but what my kind entertainer an
ticipated, for, independent of being nearly
choked, the grains were scattered, or
rather sputteTed, over the table in man
ner that elected roars of Laughter even
from the very grave Arabs. This, Of
course, was the last experiment of the
kind tried upon me.-Overland Monthly.
